Vocabulary
Music  makes  children  more  imaginative  (=  creative).  Research  says  that  early  musical
training helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning. Recent studies show that
students who study the arts are more successful on standardized tests such as the SAT. They also
achieve higher grades in high school.
Music performance teaches young people to conquer their fears and to take risks.
Some music makes me feel inspired. It gives me energy and strengthens my motivation. Music
cheers me up. Music can help me to surround myself with positive energy and help me . look on
the bright side, letting stressful events roll off my back more easily. Nice music calms the nerves
and allows us to forget about whatever is stressing us out.
It's just another song about love. It's always the same thing. Most of them don't have much
depth.  Songwriters  either lack  inspiration,  or  they  simply  think  that the  public  is  naive!  They
should  really  banish  banality  (=  ordinariness)  and  try  to  sweep  us  off  our  feet  (=  impress  us
deeply) with something new.
